WILLIAM SATCHELL'S WRITINGS
Sir.-In his very interesting article "Behind the Greenstone Door" (Listener July 25), P.J.W. states "it is possible to suspect from similarities in locale and particularly from parallels in the handling of the material and in the style of writing that such further Graphic pieces. as ‘Polly, a Bush Sketch,’ by J. Eman Smith, and ‘How the Colonel Went Home,’. by Collet Dobson, may also have been written by Satchell." It seems hardly possible that Satchell would choose J. Eman Smith as a nom-de-plume at a time when "Jimmy" Eman Smith was widely known throughout New Zealand as a’ contemporary provincial Rugby representative. I knew J. Eman Smith as a very charming and cultivated man prior to his retirement in 1909 from the office of Commissioner of Old Age Pensions for New Zealand.
